Late post, but still…

Chicken pot pie, in small oven-safe pans. Spaghetti. Chili. Smothered rice from scratch. Stuffed shells. Hot sausage grinders (just the fillings). Any kind of whole wheat/nut muffin you'd like. Oatmeal-molasses cookies – nutritious enough I let DD eat them for breakfast.

Hope you're feeling better!

Thanks for this recipe… trieda similar one before but failed …Maybe this time I’ll get perfect results, this is
quite easy to do though, I just don't know what went wrong the last time. I’ll definitely share
the outcome.

thanks!

I wish I had thought of that when I was feeling poorly. I have a few bags of blueberries in the freezer. Great tip, thank you!

I like to suck on frozen blueberrys when I am sick, maybe you would like some of them too. God bless and keep you.

Dear Tracy,
I just went through a very simalar thing with Cancer. I, unlike you, did not think to go out and buy everything bring it home and fix the meals on my own. However, my husband and I went to a local meal fix it place and made 12 servings (most could be used for two or three meals). You order on line, when you get there everything is laid out for you and you make all the food yourself adding how much spicies you like. It was a life saver and it took all the worry off of me. The cost was about the cost of a weeks worth of food for us and all you do is take it out of the freezer. Well worth the money!!! Still home cooked but just a little easier. You are in my thoughts and prayers, having just lived through it recently.

I'm glad I read ahead. I too always have cooked chicken and cooked ground beef on hand. Frozen flat in freezer bags, they defrost very quickly and there are myriad of meals you can put together in just minutes with these two items.

Tracy, you will be in my prayers and I hope you have some help after your surger.

I like to bake chicken and cut it up so it can be added to things like salads, burritos, tacos. You could also do that for ground beef. What about smoothie makings on hand. They'd be easy to digest and healthy. I hope you recover quickly and with relatively few side effects.

Take care.

I know that Owlhaven had a fairly easy recipe for hamburger buns on her blog and since hamburger and hot dogs buns are so close, this might work for you as well. http://www.owlhaven.net/2009/11/30/recipe-homemad...

Quiche is something I freeze all the time. Mix up your egg mixture (3 eggs, about 1 cup half-and-half and a few handsful of grated cheese) and freeze in a ziploc or other containter. Defrost and bake in glass dish, or pour into pie crust and bake. I use frozen pre-made pie crust to make it even easier. You can also add all kinds of veggies….spinach, peppers, onions, zucchini, etc. Prayers for a successful surgery and speedy recovery!

I've had some good results with this bread machine recipe, for hot dog buns. Its my experience that making them into the shape of the hot dog, letting them rise to double their size, and then bake to golden brown.. I don't know if you have a bread machine, or not.. but here's the recipe: http://familyhugzrecipes.withaz.net/?p=63
